| The Petrified Forest/Painted Desert National Park We were able to spend about an hour here - but could have spent a lot more time. Awesome, full petrified logs with crystals and gem stones imbedded in them. These pictures don't do the park justice - petrified wood was everywhere. This park is off of Interstate 40 in Eastern Arizona. Sorry for the lack of description - but it is mostly pictures of the wood. |
Here we are with the rolling hills in the
